Why the Tuition Fees Required of Post

The problem Of how to deal with the
financial difficulties in the way of OBJ
tanning any very great number of grad

versities, in spite of the great educa-
tional advantages offered, is one that
has given and is giving considerable
trouble. When a young man takes his
bachelors degree at twenty or twenty

h~esitates to incur the necessary eX.
pcnse. Not only must he be Il non
producer during the extended periodic Of
study. but his expenses, including usu
ally a considerable tuition fee, are
heavy. When this aspect of the ques-
ton is considered and weighed against
the inducements to follow some career

financial consideration is the dctermin

lie was prominent and active OPP
ponent of state prohibition in the re-
cent election. But the HERALD is
pleased TO be able to write him down
along with Judge Sawnie Robertson as
one of the ablest and best of the ants
who, though they opposed prohibit
ton, are not opposed to Legislative
abolition of the saloons from whence
most all evil and lawlessness have their
source" Capt. Herring thinks the
constitutional amendment was TOO
sweeping, too extreme in its prohioi-
ton to ever meet the views of the peo-
pie of Texas; but prohibition can be
ACCOMPLISHED through the legislature
There are hundreds of the truest men
in Texas who were opposed to the
constitutional amendment for, TO them,
good reasons, who could not and
would not align themselves with
the saloons Oh n question OF
the abolition of the saloons, alone
The Houston Post truly said the de-
feat of the amendment was not TO be
regarded as a saloon victory, though
there can not be any doubt that they
do so regard it, and SO virtually dc.
clared by their expression of displeas-
ure at the utteranoe of the Post, as
well as their congratulatory kilograms
to each other. The amendment aimed
at the abolition Of the saloons, some
of us contended, and yet,
unfortunately for the cause, the
amendment was so worded that there
were able and representative pros de-
claring in one part of the State that a
producer of fruits could make his own
wine and brandy, while others in an
other section were declaring that 1t
was intended as total and impartial
prohibition. The HERALD, few days
otter the election said there seems to
have been a general misunderstand-
ing throughout the State" and
and it does yet seem So
There is little, if any, doubt but that
the people of Texas would vote to-
day, or would have voted on the 4thi
to abolish saloons, were the question
submitted in different shape. The
100000 men OF Texas who voted fol-
prohibition in its most Objectionable
form, are neither ashamed of the
strength developed or discouraged at
the result. 100000 men from
among the best citizenship
of the state in cause so new
that two years ago, it would not
have polled $4,000 votes, have abund-
ant cause to be encouraged and stimu'
lated to TRY. AGAIN. Next time, aim
ing at the quart law or some like
species oflegislative prohibition, the
farmers of the state will all favor it,
and with these hundreds of such men
as Robertson and Herring, and Brown
Of Sherman.

THE first fight between the Utes and
the settlers Of northern Utah took
place yesterday, near Ouray Agency
ON White river. That agency was
where Agent Mecker and family were
masacreed about five years ago, and
is the same to which methodist jim"
Davis of the Mount Vernon Herald
was appointed year ago, but which
was consolidated with Uinta agency
before James qualified. Our Metho-
dist friend is no doubt by this time
glad he didn't get there, for there's
danger there now. The red men have
knocked the commissary door down,
filled their pockets with molasses,
their hats full of liquor and turned
the plowshares into swords.
